Fuck I really don't want to come off like I'm being anti-Israeli here, I'm not.
Some of my favorite people in the world are Jewish.
My father is Muslim and he eschewed his entire religion when he left Nigeria because he found the religion to be ass backwards, hypocritical, and ignorant.
This entire issue is extremely conflicting because arguments made by both sides are right. Is Israel a more open and progressive society? Fuck yes. Their ideologies far more align with our own as opposed to any fundamentalist Muslim society. I would
never want to live in a Muslim country.
At the same time, the way these people have had to live in this open air prison for the last few decades is practically insane. It is cruel, it is a form of apartheid, which is wrong however you want to dice it.
One of my favorite minds recently spoke about this whole situation, Gabor Mate. I recommend listening to his thoughts on this whole issue. If you know his story, he's Jewish, and a survivor of the holocaust.
